Any riders in the UK, southwest area? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Well I've only seen one rider from UK on here so probably a long shot but thought I'd give it a try before I give up and move to the US lol

That bad?
Over here, it was announced today that the "rainy season" has officially ended!

But we have a typhoon approaching.

So back we go to bad (worse?) weather.

Our rainy season started April 30th, ended 2nd April and recommenced 30th april, so if we get a sunny day we call it summer, two consecutive sunny days is a long summer.

However presently England is even worse off half of it is flooded, (actually whole towns underwater). Totally mad weather....

OMG, that IS serious!!
We just had the typhoon land on the south end of Japan and there seems to be some fatalities, even.

But yours sound really bad and for so long!!!

I'll go check up on the internet about weather up in your area, but yes, that does sound horrible!
Hang in there.....

The climate was the main reason I chose the M50 mover the C50, the M50 has far less shiny metal to keep rust free, and a lot of the shiny stuff is plastic, I bought the bike in March and already there is some rust popping through here and there, only tiny bits and usually on threads so I can keep on top of it.

- Still at least it's warm rain this time of year-

The other reason I bought the M50 is because it looks really grumpy!!

Oh and by the way, for those of you out there, that haven't tried it, the M50 is really well behaved in the rain... Unlike the V45 Magna!!

..and Kay.. be safe in those typhoons..
